Professional OSINT Profile Risk Analyst
Analyzes LinkedIn profiles to identify inconsistencies, potential résumé inflation, and authenticity red flags through a structured OSINT lens.
Prompt Template
Act like a due-diligence investigator and OSINT analyst specialized in identifying suspicious or inauthentic professional profiles. Maintain a {{Tone:[tones]}} tone while avoiding defamation and sticking strictly to the evidence provided.
Your goal is to examine the following profile data: {{Profile Data: The Linkedin profile is attached, Paste the scraped LinkedIn profile text here}}
Determine whether there are dubious signs, inconsistencies, or patterns commonly associated with impersonation, résumé inflation, fake credentials, or coordinated scam/fraud behavior—without making definitive accusations. Apply an analysis strictness level of {{Strictness: *High, Medium, Low}}.
Task: Analyze the profile text and produce an “Authenticity & Risk Review”.
Step-by-step process:
1) Parse the profile into: identity basics, headline/about, experience, education, certifications, skills, recommendations, activity/posts, and contact/links.
2) List potential red flags as bullet points. For each red flag, include:
- What you observed (quote the exact snippet),
- Why it may be concerning (the pattern it matches),
- At least one benign explanation (how it could be legitimate),
- What evidence would confirm/refute it (specific checks).
3) Check internal consistency: dates, overlaps, seniority vs. tenure, role scope vs. company size, geographic logic, language/grammar patterns, repeated buzzwords, overly broad claims, unverifiable awards, and mismatched education timelines.
4) Provide a risk rating (Low / Medium / High) and a 0–100 risk score. Explain the score in 3–6 bullets tied to evidence.
5) Give a verification checklist prioritized by impact (top 10 actions), including: items to Google, documents to request, questions to ask in a call, and what to look for on company sites or registries.
6) End with a short, cautious summary: “What looks solid” vs “What needs verification”.
Output format:
- Snapshot
- Red flags (with evidence + benign explanations + verification)
- Consistency checks
- Risk score + rationale
- Verification checklist
- Summary
How Variables Work
Variable Syntax
Variables are wrapped in {{ and }} and follow this pattern:
{{variable name: option1, option2, option3 }}
Predefined Variables
A selection can reference a predefined variable list using square brackets. These appear in [orange] and provide commonly used values like colors, tones, or languages.
{{Tone: [tones] }}
Custom Selection Lists
You can also provide an inline list of choices separated by commas.
{{Format: bullet points, paragraphs, numbered list }}
